Chapter Forty-Eight: A Pitfall for My Mother and My Sister
On a March day, the warm wind had not yet blown, and the floor was still cold, Qu Qingyan knelt on the ground, and his knees were like cold needles drilled into it one by one.
Miss Six...... Qu Zhaoyun......
Qu Qingyan sighed in his heart, lowered his eyes, and no longer wanted to look at Qu Wenhai.
Qu Zhaoyun came quickly, the door of the study was pushed open, Qu Qingyan listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer without turning back, and then a pair of satin blue embroidered shoes crashed into his eyes.
"Zhaoyun has seen grandfather, grandfather Wan'an."
"Whose idea was it to go to Yang's Mansion to propose marriage?"
Qu Wenhai's face was cold, and the fierce look in her eyes fell directly on Qu Zhaoyun, so shocked that she hurriedly took a step back.
"Hui, back to grandfather, yes...... It's the fourth brother, yes, it's the fourth brother who proposed to his mother to go to Yang's mansion to propose. ”
"How? Did you hear that? ”
Qu Qingyan's fingernails that fell between her sleeves were tightly buckled into her palms, she was really her good sister!
"Qingyan never said this."
"Why didn't you say it, obviously you said that the eldest son of the Yang Mansion is not bad in terms of talent, appearance, and family background, and he can be a good match."
"I also said that if Yang Gongzi is in Jinbang High School in the coming year, he is fully worthy of marrying the concubine of the Guogong Mansion, so you don't daydream, why don't you say this?"
Qu Qingyan ignored Qu Zhaoyun's angry gaze, and only replied coldly.
"This ...... How do I know you've said that? Besides, my mother said that she was looking for a matchmaker after listening to your advice," Qu Zhaoyun stepped forward and looked at her condescendingly, and found the courage out of nowhere, and the more he spoke, the smoother it became: "The fourth brother has been studying too hard recently, and his memory has deteriorated, otherwise why don't you remember what you did when you spoke?" ”
Qu Qingyan clenched his fists tightly, forcing himself not to punch Qu Zhaoyun's face.
It's just that good intentions are not rewarded, and now they are bitten back......
Qu Wenhai stood behind the bookcase, looked at the two of them coldly, and suddenly raised his hand to Qu Zhaoyun: "You go back." ”
Qu Qingyan's silence made Qu Zhaoyun like a winning rooster, raised his head and saluted, glanced at Qu Qingyan proudly, and then reflexively retreated.
The door of the study was closed again, and only their grandparents and grandchildren were left in the room, Qu Wenhai leaned his back on the official hat chair, and looked at Qu Qingyan with one hand on his head.
So far, he is still full of shame.
"What else do you have to say?"
was put together by her mother and sister, what else could she say?
Qu Qingyan straightened his back, and then raised his head, and there was only indifference in his eyes: "Grandson has nothing to say." ”
"Grandfather still said that, as a man, don't interfere in the affairs of the back house."
But she's not a man!
Qu Qingyan knelt there, his heart was full of anger and helplessness, and there was a trace of undetectable hesitation.
"Get up and go back to your room whenever you figure it out."
Qu Wenhai rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, got up and walked out of the study, only Qu Qingyan was dragged out of his slender figure by the afterglow of the setting sun.
Qu Wenhai asked her to kneel, she has been stubbornly kneeling, many things are not something she can figure out, such a mother and such a sister, how can she not care, such a time and space is the most intolerant of loneliness.
Qu Wenhai had dinner at Tian's and chatted a few words before returning to the study, but when he saw that she was still kneeling, he didn't know what to say.
I had to drive the people back in a sullen manner.
"Young master, what's wrong with you?"
Mama Rong had already heard that they had returned home from school, but the sun had already set and she hadn't seen Qu Qingyan come back, and she didn't know why she had a bad premonition in her heart, so she kept anxiously guarding outside the courtyard gate.
Qu Qingyan glanced at her coldly, and didn't need her to help her move back to the room step by step.
After kneeling for too long, the floor of the study was cold and heavy, and her knees swollen that night.
Mama Rong closed the door tightly, found the medicinal oil, poured some and rubbed it on her hands, and then carefully kneaded it on her legs.
"Fourth young master, third lady...... She's not easy either, don't you blame her, okay? ”
Qu Qingyan looked at the red and swollen knees expressionlessly, Qin Shi only had a light sentence that was not easy to be forgiven, what about her?
Is it easy for her to disguise herself as a man and mingle in a group of men, for her livelihood, for her future, and for her lie back then, to refrain from calculations that come from nowhere every day?
Or do they all think that as a woman, it's so easy to be a man?
Mama Rong couldn't wait for Qu Qingyan to recover, she carefully raised her head and glanced at her, but she still couldn't help but defend the Qin family.
"Fourth young master, after you left the house that day, the old lady lost her temper, called the third lady and the sixth lady over, and scolded them fiercely. The old lady said that the lady was shallow-eyed, and she couldn't see her identity clearly. also said that Miss Six has no birth or nourishment, and she does not have the appearance of a lady. ”
Qu Qingyan sneered, although this Tian clan's scolding was ruthless, he really didn't say a word.
Whether it is the Qin family or Qu Zhaoyun, she must be a little unable to do it, presumably she must regret telling him such a family thing in order to respond to Qu Bozhong.
"You also know that Madame can't listen to others say that she has a bad upbringing, so she quarreled with the old lady on the spot."
Qu Zhaoyun's ability to make a fuss came from the Qin family, and even if she didn't see it, she could imagine what the scene was like at that time.
Only filial piety is bigger than the sky, and it is not difficult to imagine what the consequences will be after she is so noisy.
"You know that...... It is not good for the woman to take the initiative to come to the door to propose marriage, and Miss Six is like that, if you don't push the fault on you, Miss Six's reputation will be ruined, so ...... Madame, this is also a helpless move. ”
"Is this my mother's idea or Qu Zhaoyun's idea?"
Her gaze was too cold, and Mama Rong's hand holding the medicinal oil shook, and she didn't dare to hide it more: "Yes...... It's Miss Six, the old lady wants to hit the board and close her yard, Miss Six panicked...... The cause is put on you. ”
You know it's so!
The problem lies with her, the grandson who always tries to meddle in the affairs of the house, and the Tian family already sees her as unpleasant, so he can take the opportunity to suppress her from Qu Wenhai.
However, once he came to the door to propose, the third room completely lost face.
The Qin family was punished for thinking about it behind closed doors, Qu Zhaoyun lost her name, and she, a promising concubine, once again lowered her status in Qu Wenhai's heart and reduced her threat to Qu Qingwen.
Qu Qingyan took the medicinal oil and waved his hand to let Mama Rong retreat first.
"Fourth Young Master, don't blame Madame, it's really not easy for her."
Mama Rong wanted to say something, but Qu Qingyan's body had already turned around, and she hesitated and retreated.
She poured medicinal oil in her hand, who can blame her for all this?
Strange Qu Zhaoyun is delusional, Qin's eyes are low, or is it strange that Tian's methods are ruthless, digging a pit early in the morning and waiting for the three of them to jump in one by one?
She hates the word involuntarily, but she can only be involuntarily!
She rubbed hard, and there was a pinprick pain in her knee, so that she couldn't help grinning, and she rubbed her tears vigorously with the pungent smell of medicinal oil, which slowly flowed into her heart.
